how many would you want? Any idea of a "theme"? I make and sell cards - I haven't done invitations for other people before but could always adapt a card design.

Have a look here to see some of my cards and just give me a shout if you would like me to come up with some ideas/designs.

It must be a hard balance for you all to celebrate but remember a loss at the same time!

Not sure which ones you meanAmelia is my DD so there are a few on there with her name I think.

Hazygirl, more than happy to make a few different designs for you to have a look at, including a photo invite if that's something you might like.

Just email me, my addy is on my blog.

Personally I wouldn't include her brother in with the invites but if you didn't want it to pass by un-noticed, then a little, seperate remembrance card or trinket should do the job.

Hi Hazygirl....have the cards arrived yet?

I DO hope they are OK, I admit that I struggled emotionally making them! Sending hugs too!
